Cumulative Lognormal Distributions of Dose-Response vs. Dose Distributions
A review of the author’s findings over four decades will show that the lognormal probability density function can be fit to many types of positive-variate radiation measurement and response data. The cumulative lognormal plot on probability vs. logarithmic coordinate graph paper can be shown to be useful in comparing trends in exposure distributions or responses under differing conditions or ex...
متن کاملEfficient and Robust Fitting of Lognormal Distributions
In parametric modeling of loss distributions in actuarial science, a versatile choice with intermediate tail weight is the lognormal distribution. Surprisingly, however, the fitting of this model using estimators which are at once efficient and robust has not been seriously addressed in the extensive literature. Consequently, for example, typical estimators of the lognormal mean and variance fa...
متن کاملLognormal and Pareto distributions in the Internet
Numerous studies have reported long-tailed distributions for various network metrics, including file sizes, transfer times, and burst lengths. We review techniques for identifying long-tailed distributions based on a sample, propose a new technique, and apply these methods to datasets used in previous reports. We find that the evidence for long tails is inconsistent, and that lognormal and othe...
متن کاملImportance Sampling for Sums of Lognormal Distributions with Applications to Operational Risk
In this paper we use Importance Sampling to estimate tail probabilities for a finite sum of lognormal distributions. We use a defensive mixture, and develop a method of choosing the parameters via the EM algorithm; we also consider the technique which assumes the importance sampling density to belong to the same parametric family of the random variables to be summed. In both cases, the instrume...
متن کاملEstimating Statistical Characteristics of Lognormal and Delta-Lognormal Distributions under Interval Uncertainty: Algorithms and Computational Complexity
Traditional statistical estimates Ŝ(x1, . . . , xn) for different statistical characteristics S (such as mean, variance, etc.) implicitly assume that we know the sample values x1, . . . , xn exactly. In practice, the sample values x̃i come from measurements and are, therefore, in general, different from the actual (unknown) values xi of the corresponding quantities. Sometimes, we know the probab...
